Shedden set for Knockhill showdown

All eyes will be on Knockhill this weekend as the sound of the Touring Cars championship fills the Fife hills. Can local boy Gordon Shedden come good and make his way to the top of the standings again?

IT’S Knockhill’s biggest weekend of racing as the British Touring Car Championship heads north of the Border to the Fife track.

All eyes will be on current champion Gordon Shedden, who is racing on home turf and can expect a massive following.

He had been having a miserable season until last time out at Snetterton, when it all came right, and he is now lying in fourth place in the drivers’ table, with teammate Matt Neal in third. That means it’s all to play for in the Halfords Yuasa team.

Ahead of them are Rob Collard and Sam Tordoff from Team JCT600, which makes it both a drivers’ match as well as a team one.

After Knockhill, the BTCC heads for Rockingham, Silverstone and finally Brands Hatch.
